Notes
Do not overcook the dumplings. Whether you’re using fresh or frozen dumplings, your dumplings are ready when it floats to the top of the water. Overcooking the dumplings would result in the dumpling bursting.
Toss the dumplings with the sauce while they’re hot. Freshly cooked dumplings retain a light coating of starch on their surface, helping the chilli oil and black vinegar sauce cling more effectively. The warmth also allows the dumplings to absorb more flavour and ensures the sauce coats each dumpling evenly.
Different brands of soy sauce, black vinegar, and chilli oil vary in intensity, so adjust seasoning as needed.
